 * Will review shortly. MathewTownsend (talk) 18:12, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Sorry to take so long. Everything looks good. I just have a question and a few prose niggles.


 * "Alta Airport is owned and operated by the state-owned Avinor, and served 335,621 passengers in 2011, making it the busiest airport in Finnmark." - this is in the lede but doesn't seem to be supported in the article.
 * Fixed. Arsenikk (talk)  22:18, 4 November 2012 (UTC)


 * "Alt Airport's regional important increased in 1990" - should it be Alta Airport?
 * Fixed. Arsenikk (talk)  22:18, 4 November 2012 (UTC)


 * "Bukta had 2,000 annual passengers in 1957,[10] and the route was flown daily during the summer from 1960." - beginning in 1960?
 * Rephrased to emphasize that it was a summer-only route.


 * "at peak hour six aircraft were at the airport simultaneously, including two from Widerøe" - at peak hours?
 * Fixed. Arsenikk (talk)  22:18, 4 November 2012 (UTC)


 * "Movements at Alta gradually decreased," - traffic at Alta gradually decreased?
 * The point was more that the movements decreased dramatically without a similar drop in traffic. I have rephrased this to make it more explicit. Arsenikk (talk)  22:18, 4 November 2012 (UTC)


 * "with people from Nordkapp to a much greater extent would drive to Alta for their long-haul flights" - seems clumsy - can it be reworded? e.g. More people from Nordkapp drove to Alta for their long-haul fights.
 * Rephrased. Arsenikk (talk)  22:18, 4 November 2012 (UTC)


 * "that the aircraft stands" - aircraft parking area? or something like that?
 * If it makes it more understandable, then why not. Arsenikk (talk)  22:18, 4 November 2012 (UTC)


 * "Another concern was the lack of capacity, as the airport could only had 150 simultaneous passengers and two gates." - could only handle 150 passengers simultaneously at two gates?
 * Thank you. Arsenikk (talk)  22:18, 4 November 2012 (UTC)


 * It has a single runway - both runways ??
 * This has to do with that each runway can be operated in two directions; I have rephrased it to be less confusing. Arsenikk (talk)  22:18, 4 November 2012 (UTC)


 * What are "aircraft movements"?
 * Explained (I forget that such terms are not common knowledge). <strong style="color:green;">Arsenikk <sup style="color:grey;">(talk)  22:18, 4 November 2012 (UTC)


 * "One problem with these car connections is that they pass the Sennalandet mountain which sometimes is closed due to snow storm." - that they travel through a pass in the Sennalandet mountain, which is sometimes closed by snow storms?
 * Shortened it quite a bit (it was added by another user). <strong style="color:green;">Arsenikk <sup style="color:grey;">(talk)  22:18, 4 November 2012 (UTC)


 * " 50-passenger -300 series to Tromsø and the 39-passenger -100 series on services to regional airport." - do you describe somewhere what these are? Also, can you make sure that "39-passenger -100 series" doesn't get separated by line breaks as it does on my machine?
 * Hope that is better. <strong style="color:green;">Arsenikk <sup style="color:grey;">(talk)  22:18, 4 November 2012 (UTC)


 * "If the alternative with a 1,999-meter (6,558 ft) runway is selected" - not clear what is meant by "the alternative".
 * I've tried to explain it a bit better. <strong style="color:green;">Arsenikk <sup style="color:grey;">(talk)  22:18, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

I've made a few edits that you're free to change. MathewTownsend (talk) 18:19, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for the review and comments; they are most useful and have helped make the article even better. I have acted upon them all. <strong style="color:green;">Arsenikk <sup style="color:grey;">(talk)  22:18, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
